Welcome to the Candace Cameron Bure podcast. Season nine is Girls Under Pressure with Ali Schnacki and Natasha Bure. Come join us. Hi, ladies. Hi. You're looking so beautiful. Thank you. Thank you so much. You're welcome. And yourself. Oh, thank you. I'm so happy that you guys are here. These are so fun.
Before we get into this conversation, and today we're talking about finding balance online and offline. So lots of social media talk. But Allie, tell me again, I want to know about Jay Walker's podcast. Yeah. And your women's ministry. So give us the rundown and a recap. Yeah. So I always felt called to do ministry growing up and I didn't know how God was going to do it, but through social media, he started my ministry chosen in free co, which is a women's ministry just based around finding your identity and then connecting you with girls that really help you discover what God's purpose over your life is. And so that was something I needed. And so, you know, God created a burden in me to start that for someone else. And he's just grown that we do in-person events, Bible studies. We have an Instagram page that girls just connect. It's really cool, especially because I mean, like you Natasha, I didn't really have that community growing up. So to be able to provide that for girls is just a huge blessing. And I'm part of it too.
And then Jaywalkers Worship, is actually, it was our youth group. Like growing up, my family felt called to start a youth group. And through the years, God has just transitioned it. And now it's a worship collective. I do a podcast because we believe worship is just using what God's given you to bring glory back to Him. And so I speak on the podcast. I interview like-minded believers and... We do a lot of music and now we're just trying to use everything God's given us to really advance the kingdom. So tell us where you can find Jacob Walker's podcast anywhere. You listen to podcasts also on YouTube. Yes, on YouTube, Spotify podcast and also Apple podcast. OK, great. Our music, too. OK, awesome. Natasha, tell us what you're up to these days.
Tell us where we can find you. Um, you guys can find me on Instagram and on YouTube. I do vlogs and then just sharing my life on Instagram simultaneously. Just what do you typically blog about for those of you who haven't literally everything, just my life. Um, Yeah, just everything that I'm going through, life, daily things. You do a lot of cooking. Yeah, a lot of cooking, beauty, gabbing, just talking about life stresses, family. I'll have you sometimes in the vlog or my brothers or whatever, but it really just is my life. It's kind of all compiled into one video. So yeah. Awesome. So YouTube and Instagram. OK, well, speaking of that, because we all three of us run our lives on social media and I feel like a lot of people do, even if you're not a professional blogger or podcaster, we are just rolling through life, literally scrolling through life on socials. Most of us. My husband and one of my sons, Lev, they are not on social media at all whatsoever.
And I think that's really cool. However, it's not my life. And it's a way in which social media, I can use the platform to share all the things that we're doing and share my faith and all kinds of stuff. So let's talk about balance. How do we find the balance of this? Does it ever feel like... It's too much. I certainly do. Every single day. I mean, I think just the balance of not even social media included, just being on your phone is so difficult. And we all have this attachment, almost like it's a security blanket. I don't know if anyone else feels that way, but if I'm uncomfortable in a room, if I'm feeling a little awkward or antisocial, I mean, the first thing that I grab is my phone. I just have such an attachment to it.
